Slightly belated - and apologies for that - this year's Easter Eggs. These are a variety of short scenes written on request for the fabulous people who came up with a host of great matches, hatches and dispatches.
The scenes as a whole are running under a blanket 'R' rating. Several of this batch are linked to one another, as well as to previous and future stories. The sharp of eye will probably spot old characters rearing their heads, as well as hints of things to come.
I would absolutely love to hear what you think, and I can be found lurking in the usual places. If you have any questions, comments, criticisms, miscellaneous, please email me. I had a fantastic time writing these - thanks so much!
